Take Action
Through the United Nations Association of the United States of America (UNA-USA) and our own partners, UNA-NYC gives New Yorkers a platform from which to advocate for the United Nations and the Sustainable Development Goals. Take a look at some important ways to get involved below.
Urge Congress to Support Strong U.S. Leadership at the UN
As a founding member of the UN, the United States plays a vital role in promoting peace and upholding human rights around the world. Urge your Members of Congress to support strong U.S. leadership at the UN.
Restore U.S. Leadership on the Human Rights Council
Forfeiting the U.S. seat on the UN Human Rights Council only serves to empower actors that do not share American values on the preeminence of universal human rights. Urge President Biden to restore our country's global leadership to ensure that human rights are protected for all.
Call for Bold Climate Change Action
The latest United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report shows that even temporarily exceeding global warming of 1.5°C (2.7°F) will severely impact nature, some of which will be irreversible. We have the knowledge and technology to address climate change, but we cannot wait! As we approach COP27, we must fulfill our commitments to the next generation, particularly by reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
